The delegation reiterated that torture was a subject of serious concern in Mongolia and acceding to the Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment in 2011 was one of many efforts by the Government to abolish all torture cases in the country. There were a total of 14 cases of torture recorded, and as of 2014 two cases had been addressed. Furthermore, the delegation reiterated Mongolia's commitment to incorporating the subject of torture in the educational programme curricular. This provision of torture had already been included for law enforcement officers, however, the curricular for prosecutors should also include the subject of torture.

Continue to study and review human rights instruments.

In the absence of strong institutions and qualified personnel, it remains seriously constrained in fulfilling the obligations as required in the international treaties/conventions. As its capacity is enhanced, Bhutan will consider ratifying relevant international human rights instruments
